The mean age of graduate students at a University is at most years with a standard deviation of two years. A random sample of graduate students is taken. The sample mean is years and the sample standard deviation is three years. Are the data significant at the level? The p-value is . State the null and alternative hypotheses and interpret the p-value
The US Department of Energy reported that of homes were heated by natural gas. A random sample of homes in Kentucky found that were heated by natural gas. Does the evidence support the claim for Kentucky at the level in Kentucky? Are the results applicable across the country? Why?
A teacher believes that of students in the class will want to go on a field trip to the local zoo. She performs a hypothesis test to determine if the percentage is the same or different from . The teacher samples students and reply that they would want to go to the zoo. For the hypothesis test, use a level of significance.
First, determine what type of test this is, set up the hypothesis test, find the p-value, sketch the graph, and state your conclusion.
You are testing that the mean speed of your cable Internet connection is more than three Megabits per second. What is the random variable? Describe in words.
Previously, an organization reported that teenagers spent 4.5 hours per week, on average, on the phone. The organization thinks that, currently, the mean is higher. Fifteen randomly chosen teenagers were asked how many hours per week they spend on the phone. The sample mean was 4.75 hours with a sample standard deviation of 2.0. Conduct a hypothesis test. At a significance level of a = 0.05, what is the correct conclusion?
a. There is enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.75
b. There is enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.5
c. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.5
d. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.75
